Your Encouraging Words



Although, I may never be
As good as you
I try to write a poem
Just as beautiful, too

Whenever I do write
It is from my heart
Not all of it is sad
Like it was from the start

From the talks we had
You seem to be able to tell
I had no confidence at all
But, you encouraged me, still

It was all your kind words
That inspired me to continue
Writing what was inside
Boosting my confidence, too

Although my self-esteem is low
With friends like each of you
Someday, I may be able to believe
The same about myself, too

Dear Sweet Sue,  Many of us have been along
the path you walk...each has stubbed toes,
twisted ankles,  felt the thorn of a rose
that carried it's own beauty...

I hope that some of us truly have given you
a boost,  have been helpful...You deserve
this.

Dear Sue,

I walk in your shoes many times myself, and stumble alot.  I have to pick myself up, re-group and re-organize.  Your poem is beautifully written and expresses so much of what many writers feel.  Sometimes a writer is only understood by a fellow writer.  As long as you write from your heart, believe in yourself, dreams will come true for you.

Sue, you have a gift!  Don't ever forget that.

I truly think Sue, that it's you who gave US confidence and self esteem by all the words penned down straight from your heart.

I admire you greatly Lady and am enjoying (if I may use that word) your poetry, sad or happy, because you have found your very own style in writing beautiful verses. I know they've reached the hearts of many a poet Sue, never, never doubt that my friend.

It's not the use of difficult words that makes a poem you know, at least not in my book, because half the time I don't know what they're talking about and I always know what you are talking about

Hugs to you my friend.

Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

Maureen - Thank you! And, thank you for always being there.

Titia - Thank you so much, Titia for your very kind reply. To know that I may have helped someone else by something I write, makes my heart feel so content. Thank you again, my friend for your very kind reply.

I am so glad that a very special friend
sent me this, today...

It speaks to all of us because it speaks
for all of us...and the one thing I can
count on, is that with the continued
friendships that we all possess here
at PiP, through poetry, and because of
poetry, we will all continue to strive
to do our best...

and if we fall, it is a soft fall, among
our poetic friends.  We all find special
and unique ways to lift, and be lifted,
by one another.

A special write, Sue...
